WrestleMania-calibre? Maybe not, but this year’s No Mercy was such fun until it fell off a cliff at the end…

It’s been a while since we sat down and watched a WWE PPV… so let’s give this a try.
It’s that time of year again as wrestling seems to be giving way to the Ultimate Thrill Ride on a show that seemed to be a final farewell for the Dead Man.
SmackDown’s last PPV before WrestleMania saw the return of a slightly-different Elimination Chamber.
WWE’s road to WrestleMania kicked off tonight with the Royal Rumble – and we got an early shout for match of the year as well!
We’re on the home straight. This Sunday, over 85,000 fans will pack the AT&T Stadium near Dallas, Texas (regardless of whatever attendance number WWE announces), as the thirty-second WrestleMania comes to pay-per-view.
Saturday night saw the WWE hold another Network-special, with a house show in Toronto being turned into their first-ever “Roadblock” event. With WrestleMania three weeks away, it was intended to be nothing more than a distraction, but there was some hope going in that this would reshape WrestleMania. In the end, it was just another house show, with a pretty good main event.
Less than 24 hours after the Fast Lane pay per view that left us with only a main event, WWE locked in a few more big matches for WrestleMania on Raw. However, both of those new directions ended up raising more questions than answers for the company’s big stars, and their aim as a whole.
